Conservatism (from, conservare, "to preserve") is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports minimal and gradual change in society.

A less stringently moderated alternative to /r/conservative for conservatives. Feel free to speak your mind, as a conservative, without fear of being banned. Non-conservatives may ask questions and engage in polite conversation with conservatives, but should avoid heated debate or downvoting based on opinion.

Please do not use excessive profanity and act as though you are conversing, politely, with a neighbor.

Note: We have a lot of new content on a daily basis that the liberal downvote trolls are determined to hide. For the best experience in Conservatives, be sure to check /r/Conservatives/new to see the content they don't want you to.

Rules:

1) Avoid personal attacks and insults. Be civil at all times.

2) No racism, sexism, anti-Semitism or hate in general.

3) Follow reddit terms of service and Reddiquette.

4) Do not engage in blind downvoting of comments and submissions on a partisan basis. Do not complain that articles are biased.

7) Do not engage in trollish behavior. Avoid profanity.

8) Do not complain in the comment section about submissions that are benign in nature. If there is something posted that is truly inappropriate, message the moderators.
